Family HealthCare Network offering free weight management classes

The first in a series of free, six-week weight management classes put on by Family HealthCare Network will begin Jan. 9 in downtown Visalia.

All seven of the classes will be held from 3-4:40 p.m at Family HealthCare’s corporate office at 305 E. Center St.

The classes aren’t intended for people seeking rapid weight loss, but instead are geared to help people change their lifestyles and eating habits so they can weight and keep it off for the rest of their lives.

A nutritionist and psychologist will lead the six classes to help people plan meals, measure food and calorie intake as well as to provide support in overcoming personal issues — include stress — that may promote unhealthy eating habits.

Participants also are weighed weekly to follow their progress.
